then

Tao Zhiyuan arrived at Tao Zhiyuan's place after more than two hours of train ride. Xu Le refused when he said he would come to pick him up.He has been to this city before, and he has already been to all the attractions. Although he will stay for two days this time, he has no particular place he wants to go. He just wants to change cities to relax.

This is not a popular tourist city. Even if there are a few days of holidays, there are not many tourists. You can get a taxi soon after you get out of the station.He went to the reserved hotel first, and then went to Tao Zhiyuan's house in the afternoon.He just found out that he was already living with his boyfriend, and Xu Le was surprised by his swift action.

Xu Le didn't bring much, just a big backpack. After putting down his luggage in the hotel room, he went to have lunch nearby.He couldn't sleep a little last night, he got up early this morning, packed up and had a rich breakfast before going to the station.He's not too hungry now, so he only bought coffee and sandwiches, and found to his annoyance that he drank a little too much coffee recently.

There were not many people in the coffee shop during lunch time, so Xu Le sat down in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass.The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the air conditioner was blowing, casually looking at the busy traffic outside, enjoying this rare comfort.

Tao Zhiyuan called to say that he was buying ingredients in the supermarket and was having hot pot at his house tonight, so Xu Le naturally had no objection.After talking on the phone, he looked out the window and seemed to see Shen Hao on the opposite road.At this time, a car happened to block Xu Le's view. After the car passed by, the person had disappeared.That's right, how could he be here.Xu Le wiped his eyes, wondering if he had hallucinations because he didn't sleep well recently.

Looking at the time, Xu Le went to Tao Zhiyuan's house after spending the afternoon at the coffee shop.Although it is a rented house, it is well organized, and it can be seen that they are running this love nest well.Tao Zhiyuan's boyfriend is very talkative, he is a little familiar, and he talked non-stop when he first met Xu Le.

The kitchen was a bit small, just enough to accommodate two people. They said that without Xu Le's help, he had to sit in the living room by himself.Before Xu Le arrived, they had prepared all the ingredients, and now they can cook the soup and start the meal.

After everything was ready, they greeted Xu Le to take a seat.The soup base made of fresh bones is different, and it is especially delicious when boiled.Eating hot pot is really more fun when there are more people. Not only can you buy more different ingredients, but you can also toast and drink.They ate and chatted, and had a great time tonight.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Le started to clean up, but they refused to let him, Tao Zhiyuan said that he could handle it by himself.Seeing him tidy up the mess on the table with his hands and feet, Xu Le was inevitably surprised. He remembered Tao Zhiyuan said that he hated doing housework the most.

They have heard each other vomit bitterness before, and to a certain extent, they have also felt sorry for each other.When he came this time, Xu Le found that Tao Zhiyuan was very different from before, not because of the change in appearance, but because of the spirit emanating from the inside, which made him look more lively.As a friend, Xu Le expresses emotion and hopes that he will be happy.

"Mom, I'm back."

Shen Hao opened the door and came in, Li Yunxia greeted him immediately with a smile on her face.Knowing that her son would come back, she went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy big and small bags of things, and when she came back, she went straight into the kitchen and worked all morning to make four dishes and one soup, all of which Shen Hao loved to eat.

Shen Hao said that there is no need to cook too many dishes. After all, there are only two people eating, and Li Yunxia responds every time, but it will be the same next time. Shen Hao simply stopped talking about it later, anyway, he is so busy that he only comes back once a month.

Back then, their community was going to be demolished, and Shen Hao was living abroad, so his mother didn't want to stay in the original city.Li Yunxia went abroad for a while, but she really couldn't adapt to the life there, so she returned to China.Later, because her own brother lived in this city, they bought a house here, and they usually had a care, so Shen Hao was relieved.

After living here for a long time, Li Yunxia met a few acquainted sisters. They usually chat together, dance square dances, and sometimes go on trips together. Life is very nourishing.The sisters are very envious of her having such an outstanding son, she is naturally proud, but she has always had worries about being difficult to be humane to outsiders.

Shen Hao has a successful career and looks very talented, but he hasn't settled down in terms of relationships in recent years.Because of that old incident, Li Yunxia didn't dare to rush him, so she could only worry herself.Last time a sister wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend, a very beautiful girl, but he asked her to push her without even looking at the photo.

Finally, Shen Hao brought a girl here, named Gao Mengjie, who matched him very well.Li Yunxia thought he had finally gotten the hang of it, but he said they were just good friends, and she happened to be here on a business trip so he took her for a stroll, and he firmly told her not to think too much, he had no intention of falling in love.

He used to have nothing to do with his son, but now that he is more mature and restrained, Li Yunxia can't see through him even more.She sometimes wonders if Shen Hao still can't let go of Xu Le, but it has been more than seven years, and they seem to have no contact.When she knew that he was going back to China to work, she was very nervous, but he has been back for more than a year, and there is no movement.

Back then, she firmly believed that breaking up was the best choice for the two of them high school students, and Shen Hao's development over the years also proved that she was right.But looking at the Shen Hao in front of her who was becoming less and less emotional, she began to be unsure. Is this really the life he wants most?
